The problem with this is that mozilla does page rendering in the main
gtk loop thread. This means that while it is rendering, the UI can't
update, and so tabs can't be deleted. I'm afraid there is nothing we can
do about that.

When galeon crashes, you should get a window appearing saying asking you
to "Inform the developers", if you don't, then you need to install bug-
buddy. This will allow you to get a backtrace, alternatively, you can
run galeon like:

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/mozilla gdb /usr/lib/galeon-bin

Then type "run", and cause galeon to crash. When it does crash type
"thread apply bt all" and copy the backtrace into a bug report.

We have certainly discussed the View source moving to the view menu
before, and I can't quite remember the reasons for leaving it where it
is, possibly because the view menu is all concerned with modifying the
current view of a page.

Interesting idea.

You can right click on the links now to get a little menu, dnd, middle
and double clicking would all be nice to implement.

Please report any bugs / feature requests to bugzilla, otherwise they
get forgotten :-)
